Posted: Mon, May 30, 2011, 9:13 AM ET (1313 GMT)
The space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station for the final time Sunday night. Endeavour undocked from the station at 11:55 pm EDT Sunday (0355 GMT Monday) and first maneuvered away and around the station. It then approached the station again, coming within about 300 meters of the station in order to test a sensor system on the station to be used by future spacecraft docking with the ISS. Endeavour is scheduled to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:35 am EDT (0635 GMT) Wednesday, ending its final mission and the next-to-last mission for the shuttle program.
